You made it so dramatic.
I did make it dramatic.
Yeah, that's cool.
And
sorry if my voice is a little bit breathy
because I don't...
I kind of lost my fluffball
with the...
my attached microphone
on my chest here.
You know how there's like a sponge stuff
covering the...
Yeah, it's gone
and it's completely naked.
So if my breath is like
on the microphone, I'm sorry about that.
Yeah.
It might happen.
Yeah, but...
Hopefully it's not.
It's positioned a little bit below
my mouth.
Hopefully. I'm not breathing onto it.
Yeah. Hopefully.
Yeah. Did you drop that?
I don't know.
I have no idea where it is.
I don't usually
use this that much.
Only on podcasting.
Sometimes TikTok.
It shouldn't like
be like somewhere random.
Yeah.
Hopefully I'll find it.
Yeah.
You can purchase it.
Oh, can I?
Yeah, like this.
Like a little sponge shit?
Yeah.
Does it fit?
Yeah.
You can buy those, you know,
kitchen sponges and
you just put it...
Wait, is it the same thing?
Yeah.
You don't look very confident.
I'm kind of worried.
Okay.
Yes.
Well, I mean...
It's not a surprise if it's exactly
the same because it looks very similar.
It's quite similar.
I'm just a little bit worried that like the density
is kind of different.
You think it's going to change the...
I don't think it'll change.
I guess that's the same.
Yeah.
But you know, the problem is you don't look
so professional actually.
You put a yellow sponge on it.
I know, right?
You don't look professional.
You look a little bit embarrassing.
Well, still.
If it does the job, then it's good.
It's good enough, right?
We were never professional to begin with.
Right?
When were we ever professional with our
audio qualities and devices?
So true.
03:00
Alright, so what do we have?
We have a chat.
We've got a message from Yu-san today.
Yu-san. Thank you Yu-san.
Okay.
Um...
旦那が変色で...
Yeah.
The people who don't have
particular like and dislike of food.
Like somebody who...
So he can eat everything?
Or is it the opposite of that?
The opposite of that.
Okay, got it.
People who doesn't like vegetables at all.
Got it, got it.
People who only eat like meats.
Very biased against like what they eat.
Yeah, that's right.
So,旦那が変色で...
人参も、大根も、なすも、かぼちゃも、トマトも、アボカドも、さつまいも、ほうれん草も、豆腐も、エビも、嫌がります。
Wow!
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
私はどれも大好きなので、どちらに合わせるべきかを考え。
1. 食べたくないオーラを出されても構わず食卓に出す。
2. 美味しいと食べてもらえる食材だけ使う。
で、迷った結果。
3. 自分の分だけ一品作ってキッチンで食べる。に落ち着きました。
しかし、若干の罪悪感があります。
お二人はどうするのが最適解だと思いますか?
That's a little sad, you have to eat in the kitchen.
Yeah.
You know?
Just one dish for ourselves.
Yeah.
And eat alone in the kitchen.
That's a little sad.
Yeah, it's lonely.
Well, I mean, I don't know what the relationship is.
Yeah.
But like, you definitely need to communicate there, you know?
With your husband.
Yeah, it's true.
Right? Of like, "Hey, I know you hate it, but I want to eat it."
So, is it okay if I just have an extra plate on the dinner table just for me to eat the things that you don't like but I want to eat?
True.
Like, I hope you're comfortable with that.
I'm not going to force you to eat the ebi, but I do.
So, I'm going to have an ebi plate here, I'm going to eat this, and I hope you're comfortable.
Yeah.
Is that not bad?
True.
Is that bad?
No.
No, right?
It's not bad, right?
It's a fair idea, fair deal, right?
Yeah.
I guess she doesn't have to eat alone at the kitchen, she just put a tiny plate on the table.
Yeah, exactly.
If she doesn't want to eat that plate, then that's okay.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Or just make a dish for the two of you and you, San, will make sure that she doesn't judge her husband of like if he doesn't want to eat it, like you're not going to force him to.
06:12
Yeah.
Okay, he probably doesn't want to, it's okay if he doesn't eat, if he leaves out all the ebis or anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
Be okay with that, right?
True.
Yeah, that's quite the right answer.
But I guess that's pretty like difficult because like, if like, by the way, that's Jimoti.
Okay.
Do you know what a Jimoti is?
I know the Jimoti is.
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get my Dora-Moshi-Kishan-Taki soon.
Oh.
So I'm giving away my old sentaki to somebody else.
Yeah.
So you're transferring through the Jimoti?
Yes, Jimoti, and I'm gonna give it for free.
Oh, free.
Yeah.
Oh, so sweetheart.
Yeah, I'm a sweetheart.
Yeah.
You don't charge like, like, some yen?
No, no, no, it's a little old, so I'm not going to charge anybody for anything like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Do you know who that guy is?
Huh?
Do you know who that guy is?
No, it's a stranger on Jimoti.
Okay.
He's one of the people who live in nearby.
I guess.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Yes.
I hope you, you can, you can, you guys can be your friend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.
Well, by, by, by the, by text, I don't think we're going to be friends.
I think he's a little bit cold-hearted.
Okay.
He only, he doesn't do any like, arigatou gozaimasu.
He only just gives me information that is necessary.
Just like, so like, I don't think we're going to be friends.
But we don't have to be friends.
Just me to get the job done.
Okay.
Yes.
Okay.
But I guess, you know, with you, San, like, if you go outside to eat, like, for say, like,
vacation or a short trip, like a little date or something, you know, like, going to a restaurant,
it's a little difficult, you know, to choose the meal.
True.
Right?
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
That's a lot.
Yeah, like, if you try to make some dish or, you know, order some dishes, then at least
one of these should be included somewhere.
Yeah.
High chance of it.
Hmm.
It's a difficult one.
Yeah.
But if they can, you know, if you can share the, you know, the delicious food with your
partner, that's the happiest.
Yeah, it is.
It is the happiest, right?
Saying this is good.
09:01
Yeah.
But, you know, I guess, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you probably won't be able to change his style of eating habits.
So I guess being okay with the difference.
Yeah.
Like each other, right?
True.
Him being okay, you being okay.
True.
Accepting it and being happy with it, I guess is like the best solution.
True.
The solution to happiness.
As you said before, the, you know, the explanation is important.
And, you know, talk to each other and understanding.
Right.
And communication.
Communication.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Deep communication.
Yeah.
Matters.
I remember when I was in France, the host family, my dad was from Algeria.
Yeah.
The country Algeria.
And he was, he didn't eat any pork.
You know, he was Muslim people.
So there are so many things that he cannot eat.
But my mother was usual, I'm not usual, but Christian French lady.
So there are so many things that she want to eat, but my dad cannot eat.
So he's got his special meal on the table sometimes.
But the rest of the family, they eat, you know, different dishes.
Yeah.
But that's, you know, that happened.
They found a way.
Yeah.
They know each other, and of course they've got, you know, explained to each other.
And they understand each other.
So that's okay.
Yeah, they found happiness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With that circumstance.
And they share one table.
Yeah.
Different dishes, but yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So the explanation and understanding is everything.
Yes.
Deep communication.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Well, that was a good one.
That was a good one.
I know.
Yeah.
That was, it's rare that we ended up with.
With an actual really good solution.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks again.
Thank you.
Oh, they're right there, guys.
Oh, they're right there.
We are out here in the middle of the night, middle of the street out here.
